Description

Gemini 12 Flown Embroidered Mission Insignia Patch Directly from
the Personal Collection of Mission Commander James Lovell, with
Signed LOA. A 3" diameter cloth patch; the mission insignia
features a Gemini capsule pointing toward the Roman numerals "XII"
at top as if on the face of a clock. At left is a crescent
symbolizing the moon- the ultimate goal of the Apollo program to
follow this last Gemini mission. Below are the crew's surnames,
"Lovell" and "Aldrin". They orbited the earth fifty-nine times from
November 11-15, 1966. Pristine condition.

Included with this lot is a signed Letter of Authenticity from
Lovell on his company letterhead stating, in full: "I hereby
certify that this embroidered Gemini XII Patch was flown with me on
board my Gemini XII mission in November, 1966. This patch is from
my personal collection of space artifacts and has been in my
possession since the mission."
